STORYLINE

Caso chiuso, or case closed, the Italian police trumpeted less than a week after the murder of British student Meredith Kercher in Perugia last November. Three suspects were in custody, accused of forcing the 21-year-old to engage in drug-fuelled sex before cutting her throat. Anyone following the lurid early press coverage, lapping up the sensationalist stories of sexual perversion and out-of-control students in the ancient university town, could be forgiven for thinking that would be that. Unsavoury perhaps, but straightforward.
